Ingredients

  • 1 cup cauliflower rice 1 cup chopped spinach 2 cups sliced bell peppers (assorted colors) 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 tbsp olive oil Spices: 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 3 4 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. Stir in the spices (garam masala, turmeric, ground coriander, cayenne pepper) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
